Tip of the Day

Make every long run an adventure.

Yes, treadmills are convenient. But the fact of the matter is, unless you have bad knees, they're no more than juiced up jumps in place. Get out of the gym and hit the trails, run to Georgetown, or group up and take a nighttime jog around campus. A sense of adventure not only keeps the adrenaline pumping, but shocks the muscles. Running on different terrains works muscles that might not be activated on the treadmill or even the track. **Up the ante by topping off long runs with the hardest part of the course. This can mean a long unshaded stretch of land or on the top of a hill**
